XXL Freshman 2014 Class: Here's What You Need to Know About the Dirty Dozen
XXL's Freshman Class of 2014 list is here! Whether you agree with the venerable rap mag's picks for up-and-coming talent or are pissed at who got snubbed (Casey Veggies), one thing is for certain: This is no small endorsement.
Two years ago, XXL named Future, Danny Brown and Iggy Azalea that year's freshman. And in 2010, J. Cole, Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean made the list. Obviously, XXL has an ear for the next big thing, so you better pay attention to this year's "Dirty Dozen" (yeah, they slipped two R&B singers into the mix this year).
Click ahead to get the rundown on the artists who just might dominate the game in the next two years.
